In this 70-video, intermediate training, CBT Nuggets trainer Keith Barker covers the knowledge security technicians need to recognize, compare, and contrast different types of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats and indicators associated with network attacks.

You can’t keep a computer network or system safe if you don’t know what a threat to the system looks like, how different attacks work, or what your network’s unique vulnerabilities are. Now you can: learn social engineering techniques, different types of attacks, and network vulnerabilities.
